Despite ample evidence to the contrary, about one-third of U.S. voters still believe the 2020 election was rigged in favor of President Joe Biden. That’s a troubling figure, particularly as the 2024 rematch between Biden and Donald Trump looms closer, because it’s predictive of how well the outcome will be accepted.

Popular chatbots seem to know the score when it comes to the last election, and are—for the most part—helpful in providing information about the coming one. We asked the major chatbots—OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity, Meta AI, and Microsoft’s Bing Copilot—some basic questions about the election, mostly informational queries about how people can vote. Some of the questions about voter participation rules are based on questions asked by The AI Democracy Projects back in February.
